Selective hearing

This can be defined as when a person only responds to specific instructions, words or sentences.

This mostly applies to toddlers and young children. Some children would ignore a call from an adult but would immediately respond when the adult offered them a treat

E.g selective hearing :
The boy only responds to"come and eat".

Selective hearing

Selective hearing refers to the way people only hear a part of what someone is saying — often, it's what they want or expect to hear — and miss out on the rest.

This tends to cause conflict, riffs and miscommunication in relationships.

It is also very annoying and RUDE.

selective capability disorder

Refers to a broad range of pseudo-maladies (where the person is merely faking/exaggerating a certain physical/emotional/mental infirmity/disability, like the infamous "selective deafness") that many lazy/selfish/uncaring people complain of, merely to get out of performing some undesirable task. These supposed maladies include:
(1) selective stamina/fatigue disorder, whereby the "sufferer" instantly becomes a nearly-lifeless "limp rag" whenever anything resembling w-o-r-k is requested/suggested; he always seems to be perfectly able to jump robustly back up again, though, when some fun/pleasant activity is subsequently offered or suggested
(2) selective phobia disorder, whereby the "sufferer" claims to have an intense fear/loathing of a certain aspect of the task at hand, again, usually to simply be relieved of having to participate in said task; he often seems to be able to placidly/confidently manage other similar-context activities just fine, however
(3) selective allergy/medical-condition disorder, similar to #2, whereby someone claims to have a serious illness/infirmity that would prevent him from safely performing a less-than-pleasant task, yet he's perfectly okay with less arduous/boring tasks which involve the same types of substances/conditions
(4) selective strength/health disorder, whereby someone claims to not be physically muscular/fit enough to perform a certain task, but yet he lifts weights, moves heavy loads in a hand-truck/wheelbarrow, etc. at other times

My uncle claims to be helpless.clueless whenever I ask him to step in and help resolve a dispute between a fellow youngster and myself, yet he is a headmaster at a private school and is known for his firm leadership there... sounds like selective capability disorder to me!

Selective reproduction

How is that not exactly what wpmen are doing with abortion? "UH DER WELL IT'S THIS NEBULOUS THING GUYS! IT'S NOT THE GUY! SHE'S JUST NOT READY FOR KIDS BECAUSE.... UM... DA ECONOMY! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! DA ECONOMY! THEY'RE NOT USING THEIR PUSSY AS A BEAR TRAP FOR RICH PEOPLE WHILE FUCKING ALL OF THE FAT COCKS! THAT'S NOT IT!"

Hym "If they are getting an abortion because they DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE CHILD OF THE GUY THEY FUCKED WILLINGLY... And abortion leads to the dissolution of relationships more often than not... Then women are engaging in selective reproduction. They're literally doing the thing you think is repugnant BUT IT'S WOMEN so they get a pass. Let's just exempt them for all the laws. That's what you real want. Not laws or rules for women and then men just do whatever without ever getting anything in return."

girl scout cookie selectivity

The quality of still being able to manage oneself with something one wishes to indulge in while this one thing is not readily available year round. One does not buy all the girl scout cookies one can. Instead one remains prudent and only buys what one will enjoy and in a timely manner. This can also simply be called self-discipline, but these cookies are a real test.

Despite having the desire to buy many different types and boxes so that she could ravenously devour them to the point of shame. Brenda employed her girl scout cookie selectivity and bought one box of four different types so that she may enjoy two cookies per day for a few months.

Selective Breeding

The process a bloke undertakes when he leaves a woman at the alter in favour of a lady more likely to give him beautiful children.

Eric: Did you here about Johns Experiment?

Stuart: Yeah he left Jenny on their wedding day for Ashley with the perfect bum to boob ratio, right?

Eric: True! How's that for Selective Breeding!
